I am a post-doctoral Research Associate at the Wellcome Centre for Mitochondrial Research, Newcastle University. My research interests include understanding the mechanisms underpinning severe neurological impairment in patients with mitochondrial disease, with a particular focus on neurodegenerative and epilepsy-associated mechanisms in Alpers’ syndrome and POLG-related disease.
